FACTS DEDUcIBLE FROM ABOVE.
| Statistical Californians may figure out from
| the foregoing approximately the average rate
which, taking all the sales together better and
| worse, has been realized for any particular
variety of fruit. The exact amount which any
| shipper has received is best known to the Cali
fornia Fruit Union and to himself, for the omis-
sion of the prices paid for samples prevents an
exact calculation of this. Some interest may
be awakened concerning the prices paid re-
spectlyely for samples ard lots at any gwen
time, but II Is lmpractcable TO give these facts
| The material information is contained in the
| foregoing tabulation. 1t will be observed that
the first sale of the series represented only three
shippers and the second and third sales each
four shippers. The number was largely in
| creased at subsequent sales. II will be noticed
that under date OF August 18th sales were re-
| corded under two sub-heads. The explanation
| of that fact is that the first subdivision under
| the date represents an experimental shipment
| by Gilbert Tompkins. who tried new form of
| packing, and the report shows that the result
| was uns satisfactory.
The season has so far advanced that a few
| words concerning the outlook for the next
season may not be amiss even at the risk of
| duplicating some statements made in previous
| letter. Those here in New York, who seem
competent to judge of the markets find no reason
! to retract any of the hopeful uttcrances made
| some weeks ago. The fruit will sell here at a
| profit, and practically in unlimited quantities
\ if sent here strictly on business principles
picked, packed and shipped rightly. More than
| this little can be said at this time, and with
| hopeful prospect in view there is little reason
| for saying more.
